全球肿瘤护士队伍对于实现可持续发展目标3.4（到2030年将非传染性疾病发病率降低三分之一）和3.8（全民健康覆盖）至关重要。不幸的是，健康的肿瘤护士人力资源面临的挑战包括护士短缺、招聘挑战（例如，对专业复杂的护理需求和危险工作环境的感知）以及职业倦怠。目前已有的解决方案包括创新招聘策略，入职和继续教育计划，职业安全措施以及预防倦怠的干预措施。COVID-19对全球肿瘤护理的长期影响尚不明确，此处介绍的影响包括即时的治疗中断，劳动力影响以及对标准肿瘤护理实践的威胁。保留经验丰富的肿瘤护士对于所有国家未来的癌症控制至关重要，必须加以解决，特别是在资源匮乏的国家中，肿瘤科护理人员很少，护士继续向资源丰富的国家迁移。随着全球癌症负担的增加，国际护士理事会，护理在行动和世界卫生组织的呼吁反映了肿瘤学护理人员的未来，护士要继续提高领导力和政策制定的水平（即国家癌症控制规划），并为他们在实现全球癌症控制目标中的关键作用承担责任。

Summary

The global oncology nursing workforce is essential to achieving Sustainable Development Goals 3.4 (reduce non-communicable disease morbidity by a third by 2030) and 3.8 (universal health coverage). Unfortunately, challenges to a robust oncology nursing workforce include nursing shortages, recruitment barriers (eg, perceptions of a demanding specialty with complex care and hazardous work environments), and burnout. Innovative recruitment strategies, onboarding and continuing education programmes, occupational safety measures, and burnout prevention interventions are documented solutions. The long-term effect of COVID-19 on oncology care worldwide is unknown, but immediate therapy interruptions, workforce consequences, and threats to standard oncology nursing practice are addressed here. Retention of experienced oncology nurses is crucial for future cancer control in all countries and must be addressed, particularly in resource-constrained countries with few oncology nursing staff and continuing out-migration of nurses to resource-rich countries. As the cancer burden worldwide increases, the future of the oncology nursing workforce is reflected in the call from the International Council of Nurses, Nursing Now, and WHO for nurses to move to higher levels of leadership, advocacy, and policy making (ie, national cancer control planning) and assume responsibility for their key role in achieving global goals for cancer control.
